What is AEC’s relationship to international organizations?
The AEC is an autonomous body but does cooperate with and gets support from international organizations when needed for the fulfillment of its tasks. Some international organizations, such as the UN, AU, EU, EC and the Arab League, are observers in the Commission. AEC’s role has been noted in international decisions, most recently in UN Security Council Resolution 1812 (2008) stressing the critical role of the AEC in overseeing and reporting on implementation of the CPA, calling for strengthening the Commission’s autonomy and urging the parties to cooperate fully with the AEC and to implement its recommendations.
